I have known Rahul as a rugby player for the past 25 years,
and now as the founder of The Foundation. He has brought
the same sense of commitment to his philanthropy as he did
his sport. I am privileged to be included in this pantheon of
champions and will always champion causes that make India
a more inclusive, compassionate land.
When Leander Paes (with Cara Black) won his 12th Grand Slam title at Wimbledon this year
it was with the quick hands, mental toughness and fierce determination that have warmed the
cockles of Indian hearts over the past eighteen years. Leander has also carried the proud legacy
of Indian tennis players saving something special for the Davis Cup by notching some of his
most memorable wins playing for the nation. But that’s not all. No other player since Rod Laver
has won Grand Slams over three decades, so it is with an incredible feeling of privilege that
Equation accepts his pledge of the racquet he actually hit the winning volley at Wimbledon
with this year. Leander’s generosity comes as no surprise. He has always been there for any
cause he believes in, he has always been 12 there for India. |
